Brad Crelia Is One Of Eight Million

Back in October the New York Time’s profiled me, my activism work and Hivster.com.

“BRAD CRELIA was rushing around the vast media room at an international AIDS conference last summer in Washington, interviewing people for a series of articles on Hivster.com, a Web magazine he founded for people who are HIV positive. The ease with which he moved through the crowd made it clear he’d done this kind of political networking before: he’d worked first as a field organizer for Hillary Rodham Clinton and later as a regional field organizer for President Obama.

If Brad Crelia earns more than $85 a month above his disability benefit check, he risks losing it.

But Mr. Crelia, 27, nearly didn’t make it home from the AIDS conference; without the $17 necessary to buy a bus ticket, he’d had to beg a stranger for a ride back to New York. It was the end of the month, he said. He’d simply run out of money.”
